Nutrition Tip

Green tea has been a popular beverage in China and Japan for centuries and may be one of the reasons why these countries have lower rates of certain cancers.

The most active ingredient in green tea appears to be Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which may possess anti-cancer characteristics.

EGCG has been shown to be a more potent antioxidant than vitamin C. It helps the liver to get rid of cancer-causing substances rapidly. It also enhances the actions of cancer drugs, such as doxorubicin.
